Simulating values from a known distribution is a basic task in statistics. But how to simulate from a counterfactual distribution? We consider this question in a recently published paper.

The proposed algorithm is applied to fairness analysis in credit-scoring.

@JuhaKarvanen out of curiosity, did you choose "simulate" over "sample" for a particular reason?
@Scriddie Not really, we could say "sampling from a counterfactual distribution" as well.
